Did we use AI?
Everything AI has to offer is based on humans, and humans will be the ones to make this film because we want to keep doing what we love. Even this website was built by a human in Canada. Local, talented humans. Ok AI rant over.
AI was used by the writer and producer to generate conceptual character images based on detailed original descriptive writing. It’s a great way to demonstrate an appropriate use of computer tools.
I'm a millionaire or business that wants to give money...
Well ho ho hold up, let’s chat about that. Please contact us here.
